RESTORE US LORD!

Psalm 80:3, 7, 19 – Devotional

Psalm 80:3, 7, 19

“Restore us, O God; cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved.“

I recall a college professor that began each term with a word of instruction to his class. He suggested that we pay special attention to what he was about to say any time he stomped his foot because it would undoubtedly be on the test. That was good advice (except for the fact that he was prone to repeatedly stomping his foot, and many questions on his tests were not foot stompers).

In reading God’s Word, we need to pay special attention when the writer uses repetition. That is the case in Psalm 80. Here the Psalmist repeats the same psalm three times. To me, that is a foot stomper, and I need to pay special attention!

Over the years I have been involved in restoring old cars and old houses. The final result is well worth the time and toil that I invested in the project. It reminds me of the old adage; “No pain, no gain!”

If you are like me, there are many times when we come to the place where our physical energy has an effect on our spiritual well being. It is at these times we need to cry out for God to restore us. Even so come quickly Lord Jesus!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
